Tables :: Calling Subroutine From VBA Routine To Append Record
Jun 21, 2013
I am trying to call a subroutine from a VBA routine to append a record to an existing table. Below is the code for opening my recordsets for reading followed by the code creating my table to append to:
Public Sub UpdateLotsizes()
Dim curDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim ProdPlanDB As DAO.Database
Dim rstQryLot As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInvLoc As DAO.Recordset
Set curDatabase = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
To call my subroutine, I simply put in the code:
ExceptionReportAddRecord
And this is the code of the subroutine:
Public Sub ExceptionReportAddRecord()
Dim rstExcRpt As Recordset
Set rstExcRpt = curDatabase.OpenRecordset("tblExceptionReport")
With rstExcRpt
.AddNew
.Fields("item_no").Value = txtItemNumber
[Code] .....
I am receiving "Run-time error 434: Object required" at the line I marked with ...
I want to call a selfdefined subroutine "update()" in several reports. But whenever I try this, Access gives me an Error 2465. The Report is selected dynamically by the user and should adapt itself to other settings made by the user. Can anybody help me how to do this? Thanks.
I have 28 combo boxes on a form, which I want to insert data into the table as they are changed. Each one will pass the same sets of data just with different parameters which come from the form.
Rather than putting the same code to insert on each of the 28 combo boxes I thought it would be easier to create a function to do it and pass the parameters to it through a sub on the AfterUPdate event of the combo box.
I need to pass 4 parameters, if I only put 1 in there it works fine, but when I start putting more in it doesnt work and I get compile errors or syntax errors.
Sub routine:
Code: Private Sub cboMonday1_AfterUpdate() If Me.cboMonday1 = 1 Then Me.cboMonday1.BackColor = vbGreen Me.cboMonday1.ForeColor = vbBlack
I am working on a complex database, as i have to call sub tables in the parent table. but i don't know how i can create it. My database format is as below
Village name, UC Name, District, village basic information, village disasters history, village school safety plan, village DMC members, Hazard Map of the village,
After the field of District i have to call sub tables against each field with its details. How I can create it. in Hazard Map field i have to attach the map img files.
I am using an on-click event on my form to call up a report for the current record. It has been a while since I've used the form to call the report, but I always remember it working correctly. Today when I try to call up the report, it opens but no record is being pulled up so the report pulls up blank.
I have a database which needs to be updated everyday. So I decided to make a subroutine to perform the update steps just by clicking on a button.
The problem is that I can run all the steps except one! At the end of the steps, there is a function/module that must be run to calculate and complete the job.
How I can run a function in a vba macro. This is my code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDatabase_Click() DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry1AddNewStockSymbols" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry2AddDailyPrice" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry3UpdateStockDailyPrice" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry4AddOverallStockValue" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry5AllSymbolsActiveDaysTractions" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry6SortToCalculateDailyRemainedStock" DoCmd.SetWarnings True End Sub
Is there anyway to have a subroutine be called when a form is brought up? meaning, as soon as the user opens the form, stuff happens without them doing anything besides opening the form.
I'm trying to run an sql update query (in VBA) to update values in a table, from calculated field values in a subform (using a query as a record source).
Is this possible , and if so, can I call the subroutine from the parent form, and what would be the correct syntax for the VBA sql string (i'm guessing it would be a docmd.runSQL sqlstringname )??
Hi all. I have a form that opens up another form when you click on a button. The button does more than just open the form, it does other checks. I want to wait until the opened form is closed to continue with the subroutine. Is this even possible in VBA? I was wondering if there was a frmFormName.IsOpen or some kind of flag that would tell me if a form is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sub open Checks things Checks things checks things
Opens form(frmDetails) Wait for form to close (THING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IF POSSIBLE)
Sometimes I find the 'need' to exit a subroutine from within a control 'loop' e.g. if.. then..else with... while... et al.
I suspect this is 'bad form' but is there any 'cost' in doing this?
There presumably will be if objects have been set and are not reset to Nothing. In this case it presumably is not a problem resetting to Nothing outside a With.. - what about inside a with..??
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type 12345, 67890, 1 12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345 12345, 54321 ...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
Ok I am exporting some data to a plain text file and one of the fields I am outputing can vary in the number of characters and I need they to have the same number of characters all the time.
Ex: 123.00 => 000012300 456789.00 => 045678900
I had heard of a command, but I can't remember what it was...I could do a loop till LEN() = 9 but that would cause undue clock cycles (aka performance hit) on the machine when running through the export routine.
Hello, I was wondering if you have one or have seen a routine to generate unique username from first, middle and last names. Here is my requirement - by default first initial and last name of a user is their username. But if the expected or default username is already taken then if the user have middle initial, then the username for this user would be first initial, middle initial and lastname. If the user does not have middle name then the username for the user would be first two letters of first name and lastname and if that's already taken then first three letters of first name and last name and so on.
I was wondering is it possible to schedule in windows somewhere to open up my syncfrontend.mdb and then run a routine that i have written inside of that mdb.
The routine is a huge database syncronisation task that needs running every hour, it's all there ready to be run but just need a way to get to it and run it automatically on the hour every hour.
Hi guys, I was looking for a way to trap err.number 3314 (when required field is null) before Jet generates its warning. I came across an old post from Rich (below), but I couldn't make it work as yet. In the calling form, under the Form_Error event I wrote the following:
Dim f As Form Set f = Me Call fnValidateForm(f)
Could anyone please tell me where my error lays here? I have several forms which have several text and/or combo boxes bound to required fields and I would want to have a generic code, like the one here to trap errors before Jet shows it's Error Message.
Thanks in advance Regards Jaime Premy - Belém-Brasil
******************Rich's Function******************** Public Function fnValidateForm(frmA As Form) As Boolean Dim ctl As Control Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response, MyString fnValidateForm = True For Each ctl In frmA.Controls 'value in the control is required If InStr(1, ctl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then ' no value entered or value is null ' or zero for numeric fields If (IsNull(ctl.Value)) Or (Len(ctl.Value) = 0) Then ctl.SetFocus MsgBox "You have not entered all the required fields return to the record and correct this! The record will not be saved if you do not! " fnValidateForm = False
Exit For End If
If InStr(1, ctl.Tag, "NumberRequired") > 0 Then If ctl.Value = 0 Then ctl.SetFocus MsgBox "You have not entered all the required fields return to the record and correct this! The record will not be saved if you do not! " fnValidateForm = False
I have a subroutine which cycles through all controls on a form, and for controls with applicable tags, either enables or disables the control.
The routine accepts a form as the parameter (frm), and is called from a button on the form itself.
Despite trying frm.repaint in the generic routine, and, me.repaint from the calling form, the controls do not seem to repaint until the mouse moves over them. A command button, for example, will be grey-ed out, despite being enabled, but will un-grey when the mouse goes over it.
I have a public sub routine which requires parameters to be passed to it when I call it from an access form. When I try to enter the code to call the sub I get a compile error. I've also tried calling it from another sub in the same module but get the same compile error - see below.
Code: Sub EmailData(Datafile As String, To_mail As String, CC_mail As String, Subject_mail As String) 'code to use variables passed in End Sub
I know when you see these you will think, "What are you doing?" So, I will tell you. I have to append certain records to another table multiple times. I have a field that stores the number of times the record needs to be appended. I thought that I could do it with SQL and a loop, but I can not get it. Any ideas?
Is it possible to create a query and/or macro to copy fields 6-10 of the current record seen in a form to fields 1-5 of the next, already existing record in the table? The typical append query wants to create a new record, but I want the fields to be copied to the next record which already exists. Thanks!
I have a query that runs based on a parameter a user selects on a form.
I want to dynamically create the sendobject file name based on the parameter the user selects.
Example:
My form has a parameter named medicine. When the user checks the checkbox next to medicine it runs a query for records labeled as medicine but sends the e-mail output as the query name. I want something like medicine.txt etcc...
